Beautiful sea views and sunrise
Wonderful room with perfect sea views and spectacular sunrise. 25 minute walk into the main town (Agios Nikolaos) and lovely taverna close to the hotel and on the beach. Went in October and there were lots of sunbeds available around the pools. Pools weren't heated so felt very cold but got used to it! Food was good but would have liked more Greek dishes and more vegetarian options - but there was always enough to eat. Calm, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day and evening.

We were delighted w our room w its own private pool. Buffet food was super and easy to change for lunch instead of dinner. Staff were very polite and helpful. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Would def recommend for couples and families. The resort is in a steep incline so less suitable for people w mobility difficulties. Ag Nik is a surprisingly lovely town w great restaurants and shops near the lake. Beach near the hotel was perfect. We hope to go back next year!

The hotel complex was well maintained with clean and clear pathways. The buildings and rooms were modern though showed some signs of wear and tear, but all facilities worked to the level expected. Our room was lovely, actually a suite, with a personal pool which was wonderful. Food options were plentiful and varied at both breakfast and dinner. Staff were all polite and helpful and friendly.

Great hotel on the hill, breath-taking views.
Our room was a small villa comprising two large rooms, two bathrooms and a living room. The private pool on the terrace was amazing, the view too. The hotel is like a small village on the hill, wonderful to walk around and to enjoy the gardens and the views. Two things can be improved: more sunbeds are needed, there is lots of free space at the swimming pools area but not enough sunbeds for people. And dinner quality can be improved, also to be enriched more with local dishes, although dinner quality is still quite good.

Lovely food, service, pools but some tired rooms.
Dining experience excellent value as added in as half board and the food was really tasty. Service was excellent, throughout and especially Eftychia on front desk.
Our first room had view of the car park so asked to move and while we had a 3rd bed and it was nice to see a side view of the sea, we had paid for full view. The second room was tired and the bathroom awful: very old, pull switch to electric in the actual shower, old tiles, shower head pointed out of shower slightly and couldn’t change so whole bathroom got wet and steamed up as no fan!
But other parts of the hotel and swimming pools felt very modern and classy and were so impressed with the food and dining area.

The star of the show at the resort is the views over bay and the private pool. We stayed in a villa and had loads of space. The downside was to get to any other part of the resort we had to walk up a very steep hill - which gets tiring after a while. Foodwise, for an all inclusive the buffet offerings were good enough but not amazing. The place was very clean and overall staff were great but some facilities upgrades need to be made including replacing the poor lifts and the patio/balcony doors in our villa.

Our room was not very clean. We had left our towels hanging, so did not expect them changed. The bathmat, however, was sopping wet and not changed. Our room was never swept (it is a beach property so hard to avoid sand) and the bathtub and bathroom counters were not washed during our 4 night stay, Upon checkout, they would not offer assistance getting our luggage to our car, which was about 100 yards uphill to the parking lot. The two servers at the pool bar and main bar were professional and welcoming.

Spoke to reception for another room only offered a room at the rear of the complex.Would not issue a invoice at the end of our stay. They said Expedia would email a invoice.

The staff is really amazing, we can’t thank enough for making my wife and I feel like we’re at home.
The point that we didn’t like that much was the bathroom in our room, a little bit small with a small cabin shower, no individual hygiene products such as shampoo or bathing gel and there was no much attention to the fact of refilling the products available. We were in for seven nights and we also think that in the middle of the stay, the bed sheets should be changed for clean ones.
Besides that, everything was and is really amazing!

Nice, but tired rooms. Patio door didn’t lock (room 111). Gym equipment tired too. Overall it was fine, had 3x nights, but would have been frustrating to stay longer, food was good. Overall it was fine, but would probably seek elsewhere next time, it was good for what we paid.

Stayed at the Miramare Second week in April. Appreciate it was still early season, as such a few facilities weren’t open yet.
Enjoyed;
The breakfasts weee decent and a good choice.
We had a suite with sea view and private pool. Enjoyed the pool, big enough at c4metres x 4metres in size, water obviously pretty cool (see below for other comments re room).
The lounge area with the outside balcony is nice, as are the communal pool areas.
Only a 15 stroll into the town and an east walk.
Didn’t enjoy;
I wouldn’t call it a suite as such, it was one bedroom with a small corridor leading to a very basic small room with a sofa bed in it. The small room with the sofa bed was like a prison room in its basic-ness, I expected some kind of sitting room as part of a suite.
When we arrived there were 18 insects in the room (worm like centipedes) which I removed. During the week there was an average of 2 or 3 further worms, didn’t do any damage and I appreciate its difficult to avoid Mother Nature.
Despite the above issues I would recommend the hotel but check what room type you are booking first.

All good but breakfast in hell...
Perfect location, seafront, at walking distance from two nice beaches, Almyros and Votsalo and at around 1 km far from the centre of Agios Nikolaos.
We had a family room, with a spectacular sea view which was not the newest, but it was roomy and comfortable.
The two (out of three) pools we have seen were big with a nice pool area and a beautiful view.
The breakfast room was the most negative aspect of this hotel. It was massive and terribly hot and too crowded. Especially around the tables nearby the windows it felt hot like a sauna. The buffet was big and offered. sufficiently rich variety. The staff was good and friendly but only with people who behaved well. The absolutely worst part of this hotel are (most of) its guests. The majority, fortunately not everybody, are the typical all-inclusive guests who no matter where they are on holiday the spend their time drinking alcohol at the pool. Those are also impolite and rough with the staff and other guests... That didn't really fit with the beauty, luxury and elegant appearance of the hotel. One advise: should you decide to book here please book a massage at the beautiful hotel spa: simply excellent.

Très beau séjour.
Le personnel est avenant.
L'environnement est top. Les chambres/studios sont sans vis-à-vis. Les piscines sont vraiment belles, et asses grandes pour faire des longueurs. Le restaurant est vraiment très bon et varié.
Seul bémol, la salle de sport. Elle mériterait un petit rafraîchissement: certaines machines grincent, ou sont peu fonctionnelles.
